We are going to St John!!

Wow I am getting so excited. Mom, Ali, Scot, Kennedy Jane, Brian and me are going to St John over Thanksgiving week. We have rented a villa called Adeste that's a 3 bedroom villa perched in the hills of St John with its own infiniti edged pool overlooking a bay. Its going to be so fabulous!!

But gosh this is so much harder than booking through a travel agent to stay at a resort where someone picks you up at the airport, drops you off at the resort where you have plenty of places to eat, shop, etc. We do this all the time at the beach but its different, we drive there and can grocery shop in Walmart.

Speaking of grocery shopping, we grocery shop off a list, fax it to them, and when we get to the villa our groceries are there waiting on us, including cold local beer!!

Here is what it is going to take for us to all get to St John:
Thurs Nov 20th -- We leave Mobile and drive to New Orleans for dinner and to stay at the Hilton across the street from the airport
Friday Nov 21st -- Wake-up at 4am, get showered and dressed, wake up the baby (I know NEVER wake a sleeping baby, unless of course its for vacation) and get all our luggage, carseat, and all of us across the street to the airport. Get all checked in and wait. Our first flight leaves NOLA at 6am, we connect through Miami where we will meet Brian and then on to St Thomas.

Once we arrive in St Thomas we have to get a private taxi to take us to the Ferry. We then load all of our luggage onto a ferry that takes us to St John. Once we get there we will be met by a reprensentative of the villa company that will help us get our rental car and will direct us to our villa. Sounds exciting huh? Keep in mind this is ALL with a toddler, haha, we are nuts!!

But if you read above you will know that upon arrival we will have ice cold local beer, can't get any better than that!!

The greatest thing is we are not limited to St John, we can get to Jost Van Dyke, Tortola and Virgin Gorda by ferry and also back to St Thomas. Its going to be an amazing vacation and I cannot wait!!

There is a ticker on the right side of the blog that shows how many days it is until we leave. Is it time to go yet??
